Charleston Running Club

Charleston Running Club We're a non-profit organization of 700+ runners and walkers in Charleston, South Carolina.

The Charleston Running Club promotes, encourages, and organizes running activities in the Charleston, SC, area. Whether you're a lifelong resident or a short term visitor, we want you to explore the Lowcountry by running through our historic city streets, along our scenic beaches, or across the Cooper River Bridge. In the 1970s, our club helped start two of the area's largest races, the Cooper Riv

er Bridge Run and the Kiawah Marathon. Today, we host the Charlie Post Classic 15K/5K in January, the Floppin’ Flounder 5K in June, and the James Island Connector Run in October. We welcome and embrace all runners, whether you're a beginner or one of South Carolina's elite runners. Our club hosts group runs, socials, educational speakers, and volunteers in our community. In addition to the social benefits, you'll receive discounts on races, free training clinics, breakfast at the Cooper River Bridge Run finish lines, and an annual holiday party. No matter where you are on your running journey, you'll find a welcoming community in Charleston Running Club.

It's Throwback Thursday!

Today's Throwback is from our Floppin' Flounder 5K packet pick up in 2015- we can't believe this was 11 years ago, and you can get an idea of just how different running shoes looked back then, too.

We're thankful for Fleet Feet for being such a great packet pick up partner for these years AND for our wonderful volunteers!

It's National Best Friends Day!

Whether we meet a friend on a half marathon course or have a special person we share those long, sweaty, summer runs with, some of our best friendships come from running.

Say hi to your best running friends today- after all, running is about being with each other, not beating each other.

It's been one week since the Floppin' Flounder 5K, and we're still super proud of YOU. Over 1,100 runners and walkers joined us, and check out some of the pictures- it's hard to capture how big the crowd was.

We are grateful to the Sullivan's Island Fire and Rescue for use of the Fish Fry Shack and their help with this race, and they are grateful that you raised money to help keep the island and beaches safe.

We hope it's a GREAT summer for everyone, and we'll see you on the road!
